 Regarding the middle voice, this relates to verbs in general. An example verb is "burn" and an example phrase is "the coal is burning", which can be interpreted as reflexive or causative. For this, and the unambiguous example of "we're burning the coal", the simple scenario of not making a distinction yields these translations: //de kol bren// (ambiguous) and //vi bren de kol//. How should we handle these verbs?

+  * mostly it is proposed to make all verbs regular, except for the one for //to be//. A possibility for this one special verb (from [[User_ob]]) is the following, using **ver** as the root: infinitive **vera** or **vere** (depending on the suffix), imperative **ver**, participle 1 **verend**, participle 2 **varet**, present tense **er**, preterite **var**. Note that the first three forms are regular, and the second three irregular.
